One day Hudson Taylor was with a very poor lady who was also sick. As he prayed that God would send her food and heal her he remembered that he had a coin in his pocket. He knew he should give it to her so that she could get something to eat, but it was his very last money and he would soon be hungry, too! Hudson knew that he should give them some of his clothes and money, but then where would he be? Could he trust God to take care of his needs if he gave his belongings to others? He felt unhappy until he stopped arguing with himself, took off his coat and sweater, and handed them over to the mother, along with the coin. "God bless you," she whispered, eyes filling with tears. And He did. Hudson left with only a song in his heart to keep him warm. The next day the mailman handed him a letter. When he opened it, the envelope contained four times as much money as he had given that family! He learned a lesson that would help him again and again in his work in China--as he cared for others in Christ's name, he could trust that God would look after him too!
